Moreen Nuwasiima, a teacher at Kyaruhotora Primary School in Kyaruhotora Parish, Nyarushanje Sub County, Rukungiri District is detained at Rukungiri Central Police Station over charges of obtaining money by false pretence.
She was arrested by the office of the Resident District Commissioner led by Steven Nsubuga Bewayo and handed over to the police for investigation after the erudition that she had destabilized the area.
It is alleged that Moreen Nuwasiima received 1.5 million shillings from Anne Kyomuhangi after promising her to get a job from the District Service Commission for her child Daizy Nuwamanya, a grade three qualified teacher.
Anne Kyomuhangi was a treasurer of bataka zone, she gave the bataka zone money to Moreen Nuwasiima expecting to replace it as soon as she gets a loan, bataka zone wanted to use its cash before she received the loan which made the payee request back the money hence the money was paid back in 2 installments.
The process of paying back the money destabilized the village and attracted the intervention of authorities.
According to the Rukungiri Resident District Commissioner Steven Nsubuga Bewayo, they arrested the woman to find out where she was taking the money and her plan to ask for 1.5 million since the office of the RDC trusts the integrity of the service commission as well as arresting her to serve as an example of such wrongdoers.
By press time, police were still investigating and had not released a statement.
Meanwhile, today the district service commission conducted interviews for those who were shortlisted for the job of education assistant looking for 30 teachers in the interviews held at Riverside Hotel in Eastern Division, Rukungiri Municipality.
